What's Happening at Whitt! 9/13/19
Once a wolf, always a wolf!
Watch DOGS sign-up is up and running!
Boosterthon Starts Monday!
Parents and Families—this year’s main fundraiser is the Whitt Elementary HeroFit Challenge! It’s a two-week program that kicks off on Monday!!!
Families will gather pledges for every fitness challenge your student completes (30-35 fitness challenges) at the Whitt Elementary HeroFit Challenge on September 25th. This year our goal is to raise $30,000 for our school, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and FUN for our WOLVES!
Students will also experience a character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD WEST! This goes perfectly with our district theme, RIDE FOR THE BRAND! This theme combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building.
So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on FUNRUN.COM (once our fundraiser kicks off). Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on our students at the Whitt Elementary HeroFit Challenge on September 25th. Thanks so much for your support!
Picture Day is Almost Here!

Attendance
- If you receive a parent letter about attendance, please call Mrs. Power so she can visit with you and answer any questions you may have.
- These letters are typically sent every 3 absences.
- If possible, please present a parent or doctor note with absences. While these are helpful, absences are still looked at as a total count, regardless of notes being sent.

Bike Safety and Bikes at Crosswalks
In looking at ways to improve safety on the walk to and from school, Wylie PD has asked that students walk their bikes across all crosswalks. They need to stop at the corner, get off their bikes and walk it all the way across the intersection. The crossing guards will be reminding them as well.
Keeping kids safe is our priority, and that includes traveling to and from school. We know lots of our Wolves love riding their bikes to school each day!!
Here are some important bike safety tips we hope you will share with your child. This includes the importance of always wearing a helmet. In addition, please remind your child to stop, get off their bike, and walk it across all intersections. Thank you!
